Strategy & Planning

A roundtable with Holy Cross Energy’s Bryan Hannegan, SECO Energy’s Gregg Morrell, Rio Grande Electric Cooperative’s Abraham Vasquez, Block Island Utility District’s Jeffery Wright, and NRECA’s Angela Strickland.

“The most rewarding part has been the partnerships and leadership role PSE has taken. We wanted this Clean Buildings Law to be successful – so many of us in Energy Efficiency are here because we are trying to help save the planet – and reducing GHGs in buildings is one of the reasons.”

“Because we are owned by the city, our customers are at the heart of all we do at JEA. It seemed only natural that, as we began the process of examining our future energy needs for the next thirty years, our community members would be a part of the process to develop our electric Integrated Resource Plan.”

“Contrary to widespread belief, the famous 1888 New York City blizzard was not the primary impetus for undergrounding electric lines. It was safety – and worker safety in particular – that drove undergrounding, which remains a core electric industry norm.”

“With more than seventy international electric companies operating in ninety-one countries, EEI International Programs is committed to fostering an ecosystem of shared knowledge and to advancing Power by Association on a global scale.”

“These factors are creating a monumental challenge for utilities to develop strategies to recruit and retain employees today, and to create a pipeline of next generation workers with the knowledge, skills, and training needed to build and operate a grid for the future.”

“Working with our contracted architects and design teams, my design hinged upon the information I brought back from my trips overseas. We knew, if they could do it again, this is what they would have done.”

This is the story of the formation of the Consolidated Edison Company of New York up to the beginning of the electric age, in commemoration of the company’s bicentennial.

“Despite significant differences between the U.S. and Denmark, there is much we can learn from the Danish energy system and its emphasis on public-private partnerships.”

“It is important to get customers to adopt these technologies and then enroll in the programs that utilities want and need them to.”
